In a phonepatch interview with the hosts of “Ang Latest Updated” on Saturday, Lian found herself on the receiving end of an unexpected question from Cristy Fermin, who asked if it was true that Paolo had caught her dating another man in Makati shortly before he moved out of their home on September 12.

In fact, after Lian broke the news to the media on Thursday, the reason for the sudden end of their four-year relationship, which was sealed by a civil wedding in 2010 and gifted with two daughters, remains shrouded in mystery.

Lian confirmed an earlier admission that it was Paolo who called the decision. The actor left for the U.S. on Thursday to join the cast and crew of “Manny Many Prizes” in a taping of the game show in Los Angeles.
